    On Disc 2 of CD version there is the 20 minutes of silent track. Is it part of the music or a pressing error ?

      There are still copies of this available for pre-order on Peaceville's shop. Get at them before they're gone.

        A beautiful emotive album and possibly the best by this most awesome of bands. Every album they do something a little bit unexpected. The shades of light and dark woven with heavy anthemic guitar work and complex polyrhthmic electronica is just stunning. The first CD is a nice slow burn with plenty more ambient interludes and female vocals whereas the second CD lets rip with huge bombastic riffs and fit's the imagery of Blake's poem perfectly. Sublime.

          Ulver at their best. Unparalleled inspiration to transfer Blake's masterpiece. Higly innovative music. And Garm offering the vocal testament of his life. Just listen to plates 22-24. They reached their limit. Or..?
